Probly twice a day while in the paper bag open it and let new air in and shake the bag around to mix all the nugs around then fold it back closed. You can pretty much leave it in the bag until its the way you want it.
I use bags but with a lot more care and less intensity. I'm thinkin too many trichomes can get snagged up in the bag otherwise.
leadmagnet Reviewed by leadmagnet on . Preserving flavor when drying buds Who has some good information on preserving the flavor of the buds when drying. All the buds smell awesome when they reach maturity but many lose most of their flavor when dried. I have tried leaving the buds on the plant without trimming, trimming before drying and partial trimming. The results don't seem to show the affects of the different drying methods. The afghan goo and white widow taste great but the dj short blueberry seems to have lost a majority of its flavor. The bliss smelled Rating: 5
